Is it four wheel drive?

It is not. I’ve read 4WD makes it a bitch to change out.

If you're referring to a one-piece hub/bearing assembly for a RWD truck, I just did this on a '08 Silverado. Pretty easy to do.
I would recommend buying a new set of bolts as well, and make sure you properly torque them on reassembly.
Other than that, it's a pretty easy job. Be mindful of wire routing for wheel speed sensor.

I did both sides on my 2005. The bolts are very tight, have good tools available. Not a bad job take your time.

I changed out the front 4wd hub and wheel hub on my f-150. It took about 3 hours and some cursing but wasn't impossible. Make sure you have a good set of hammer cap pry bars.

Yea that’s it. Any particular reason for the new bolts? You’re not the first person to mention that.

Popping out the ball joints is a bitch. Make sure you have the proper tools. Otherwise it’s not terrible.

Two reasons - the torque on these bolts is pretty high (120 ft lbs or so), so they have already been stretched once, and this joint needs to be very tight. Second is, if a bolt were to fail bad things will happen.
I think a bolt set for one wheel was ~30 bucks at NAPA.

Are you removing the knuckle to change the hub and bearing assy? Why? Are yours pressed in? Most hub and bearing assy’s are bolt on these days. It’s been a while since I’ve sent one out to be pressed in.

A breaker bar will help loosening the 4 bolts on the back of the hub. Depending on the type of caliper bolt, you may need an allen socket, but you can check that without having to do any disassembly. I use a torque wrench for hub and brake work. Would not hurt to have silicone grease to lube caliper bolts for reassembly.

I believe a 4WD setup requires removing the knuckle on my particular truck. Mines not 4 wheel though.

Probably so. I forget about IFS on trucks these days. I’m a solid axle guy.
